Tick Genome Assemblies: Overcoming biological limitations through advances in sequencing technologies

2025-11-12

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods with approximately 1,000 species, however, only 24 species currently have a genome assembly. These genome assemblies are important resources to advance tick biology and control of tick-associated diseases. Generating tick genome assemblies is challenging due to their small body size (low DNA input), DNA contamination (from microbiota and host bloodmeals), large genome size (on av...
